Hi. I am a 14 year old junior league baseball player. I found this site and thought it was very interesting. I have tried and tried to develop that sweet, seemingly effortless stroke, which as I have learned from this site, is the product of a swing with torque and rotation around a stationary axis. But, I have had little success. I am a switch hitter, and have found it difficult to maximize my batspeed through torque and rotation from both sides of the plate. After months of practice and hard work, it still doesn't seem natural, and I know I'm not doing it right! Does anyone have any suggestions, drills, etc., which will help me with this problem?
Thanks,
Joe
